Glad not to have been a judge for this year's Arthur Ross Book Award by ⁦@CFR_org⁩ because it would have been awfully tough to pick between "Say Nothing" by ⁦@praddenkeefe⁩ and "Our Man" by George Packer, two stunningly good books. https://t.co/M17TurNZtG — PolitiTweet.org

As judge dismisses case against Flynn in deference to Trump's pardon, he indicates that he "likely" would have rejected the Justice Department's unusual and controversial bid to overturn Flynn's guilty pleas. ⁦@charlie_savage⁩ https://t.co/EEzOexpL07 — PolitiTweet.org

More than 53,000 people have died of covid in the US since the election and at the current rate another 97,000 could die by Inauguration Day, or roughly the equivalent of every man, woman and child living in Albany, NY, or Dearborn, Mich., or Erie, Pa. https://t.co/0qbZQdl4Sx — PolitiTweet.org

Two Biden Cabinet picks, Becerra and Mayorkas, played key roles in a clemency scandal two decades ago when the early release of a cocaine trafficker raised complaints of political favoritism and drew prosecutor rebukes. ⁦@PostRoz⁩ ⁦@thamburger⁩ https://t.co/yPCPADp2YQ — PolitiTweet.org

In split-screen speeches, Trump offered told-you-so triumphalism about the “incredible,” “amazing” and “unprecedented” vaccines while Biden projected feel-your-pain empathy, urged resisters to wear masks and warned that “this mess” would not end quickly. https://t.co/0qbZQdl4Sx — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court, with three justices appointed by Trump, thought so little of his allies' bid to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania that it dismissed the case with just one sentence and no noted dissents. ⁦@adamliptak⁩ https://t.co/KDNU1sim2S — PolitiTweet.org

Seventeen newly elected Republican women will give the party a record number of female lawmakers in Congress. Of the 13 Democratic incumbents who lost their seats on election night, Republican women were responsible for defeating 10. ⁦@rachaelmbade⁩ https://t.co/f6izrHeqza — PolitiTweet.org

More than 200 companies, special interest groups and foreign governments patronized Trump's properties during his presidency while reaping benefits from him and his administration. ⁦@EricLiptonNYT⁩ https://t.co/jLx5AQbQQo — PolitiTweet.org

Upset for the ages? Washington's victory was its first over Pittsburgh in 29 years and the first time in NFL history that any team with such a poor record defeated a team that was 11-0 or better. ⁦@NickiJhabvala⁩ https://t.co/sCaAHzjjtq — PolitiTweet.org

RIP Chuck Yeager, who defied death as America's greatest pilot in the dawn of the supersonic era to live a long and illustrious life before passing away tonight at 97. The right stuff indeed. https://t.co/Dd42KCpxdD — PolitiTweet.org
